I still believe that if Kohanski had come out with "monster-mannies" they would still be legal......[/quote] That is an uninformed statement. You need to go back and look through the minutes of the FV Committee. I did not attend most of the FV Committee sessions when manifolds were discuss...

HI Mark, You might contact some moving companies like Allied, Mayflower etc. You might be able to work a deal where they have a truck going cross country that might have some space available. Tell them you will drain the gas and oil. I had a friend back in the 80's who had a citation delivered from ...
